Fisher's "CAMS Inventors, Inc." is a program developed for high school seniors at the California Academy of Math and Science. The student-centered project will take the classroom environment and combine it with the real world as students interact with a variety of individuals, agencies, and institutions to learn and become entrepreneurs. The program is unique because it transcends learning about entrepreneurship and actually has students make real offerings to a consumer market. Participating students will develop a start-up company where they will create a business plan, conduct market research, and develop a professional marketing and advertising campaign for a product or service that has a social value for commercial use. They will present their concepts to venture capitalists and business and financial professionals from the local community in the form of a Business Convention where they will create display booths and make formal presentations. The students will then go out as "Entrepreneur Ambassadors" to teach two-hour classes on entrepreneurship to approximately 70 local elementary and middle school students. Fisher hopes the program will have far reaching effects and will become a positive entrepreneurial influence in the community for years to come. He lives in Laguna Niguel.
